Representatives from CUPE Ontario, the Ontario NDP, and CUPE 1750 will present on the effects of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board's decision to centralize services in Toronto. WSIB closed ten regional offices in September, which resulted in the loss of more than 700 jobs and a downgrade in service levels for injured workers and employers.
